Camry :: 2003 XLE With Automatic Trans - Loud Humming Noise Over 40 Mph

Problem that developed after our 03 xle got whacked by a Harley in the right front wheel. The repair shop changed out the spindle and wheel but we got it back with a loud humming noise over 40 mph. The shop said it was the axle shaft bearing and not related. I argued and the insurance company reluctantly agreed to replace the shaft,bearing, and housing. Got the car back and again, the same humming only less faint and obviously coming from the trans. Everyone is dodging responsibility and it looks like we are left to sort things out on our own. Figures. This car road perfectly prior to the accident. I can't find any online diagrams of the trans to see what the shaft fits into. Supposedly the shop is holding on to the old shaft, I was going to go and look at the end splines, I believe that's what it has.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Hard Downshift From 2nd To 1st After Warmed Up (Automatic Trans)

Recently started experiencing a hard downshift after driving for 30 minutes, and only from 2nd to 1st. No other shift issues with other gears, up or down.

When moving over to manual shifting, it doesn't appear to have the issue when downshifting in manual.

I replaced the radiator about 2 weeks ago due to a serious leak, and the shifting problem wasn't an issue before as I would have noticed.

Going to start with the fluid lvl, but it feels odds with it occurring during the downshift to 1st.

Trans Sport :: 3T40 Automatic Transmission Suddenly Won't Engage Drive Or Reverse

This transmission shifted smooth and strong through all gears until today when it stopped all of a sudden to engage either Drive or Reverse. No previous signs of slippage, hesitation, stalling or lack of power whatsoever.

We checked the linkage to the transmission and it works as intended, nothing loose or broken, everything is in place. If there was something slightly different with it from other similar vans we have then it had a slightly delayed engagement in Drive (it took a second to engage it after you moved the lever) - on all other vans we have the transmission go into Drive almost instantly.

Van is a '92 Pontiac Trans Sport/Chevrolet Lumina APV with the 3.1L V6 Chevy TBI engine with the 3T40 automatic transaxle. Where we should start tackling this issue?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Small Leak On Automatic Trans After Fluid And Filter Change?

I had a small leak on the side cover of my trans so I decided to replace the gasket and take the opportunity to drop the pan and change the fluid and filter. However now I seem to have a pretty significant leak from the trans pan itself. The side cover seems ok.

The filter and gasket kit I purchased was a Wix brand. I don't have a torque wrench, so I just tightened to Germain torque spec (gutentight). However now I worry that maybe it's not the right spec, either too tight or too loose. The kit came with new spacers for the gasket and I cleaned the pan, especially around the lip where it interfaces with the rubber.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Pin Fell Out Of Automatic Trans Gear Selector

The other day I had a metal pin fall out from under my dash and hit me on the foot (only reason I would have know if fell out till I clean the truck)

Ever since then the gear selector handle for my transmission has become sloppy and when I go to turn off the truck, I have to hold the arm up to turn key off all the way. I have looked to try and find where it goes and cannot find the location. I have also looked at a blown up parts diagram and cannot find it. Where it goes?

Passat (B5) :: Automatic Transmission Died

Automatic transmission died on my Variant at 100,450 miles. I did not expect to have this failure so soon, but I was pleasantly surprised that dealership replaced tranny for FREE without any questions asked, even having a fact that mileage on my car passed the covered limit.

Passat (B6) :: 2.0T Automatic Shifting At Higher RPMs

Over the past couple of days, my wife and I have been noticing that our B6 (2.0 Auto/Tip) is shifting at around 4000 rpms. I'll probably be taking it in to have the dealer look into it but wanted to see if the community has experienced anything similar to the issue at hand.

It shifts (Appox):
1st into 2nd - 3200 rpms
2nd into 3rd - 3800 - 4200 rpms
3rd into 4th - 3500 rpms
4th into 5th - 3000 rpms
5th into 6th - 2500 rpms

Notes:
* the appox amounts above are at regular driving acceleration.
* while in Drive - "D" mode
* used to shift into all gears between 2500-2900 rpms
* doesn't shift nearly as smooth as in the past

Is it OK to slip into "Sport" from "Drive" while Driving? How about slipping into Tiptronic while using "D" or "S"?

Passat (B5) :: Automatic VR6 Will Start But Would Not Shift Into Any Gears

A few days ago when it was real cold my car would not shift into any gears. I shut it off and started it in neutral and was able to get it to shift, but after leaving it for a day or two it now will not go into gear. I have tried starting it in neutral and park, but it still will not let me push in the little thing to allow me to shift into reverse or drive. Why this might be happening or had this happen to them?? I'm thinking it might be related to the really cold weather. It's a 97 passat...Automatic....

Passat (B6) :: Automatic Transmission - Stuck In 3rd Gear

So couple of days ago, I went shopping. no issues. after shopping i fired it up, no issues, put it reverse, car was shaking, put the car in neutral. No issues, put the car in drive car is shaking again. i started to drive no shaking, however the car felt like it had no power, I only felt shaking during switching from R TO N TO D. So I change to manual mode and see the gear was 3rd. i was not able to change gears manually, neither did the tranny switched them for me. I drove home about a 3 miles. shut the car off, restart it...gears and car drives normal. Took to dealership, they checked it...and of course no issues. Ihave 44k miles and 50k warranty expires next week, nice, huh? got another year of powetrain warranty left.

Passat (B6) :: Changing Gears Too Soon On Automatic Mode

About twice a year I am noting a too soon change of gears on automatic mode. This may be the fourth time it happens is just coming and going by itself.

I notice that when driving on constant traffic and going about 40mph I'm doing 5th gear so when traffic clears up I have to really step on the gas so car downgrades to catch up with traffic. What may be happening?

Passat (B6) :: No Start / Automatic Transmission Not Shifting To Neutral

So yesterday after running an errand I got home, after having dinner I was about to head out and, SURPRISE! The car wouldn't start... The engine doesn't turn, no lights on the gauges when inserting the key, no clicks.... the battery seems fine, as the radio works, the anti-theft/alarm works well, the 2nd key behaves the same way.

This morning, I called VW road side, the tow truck they sent couldn't take the car because it is in a tight spot and we can shift the car to neutral. We tried resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery without success... What to do??

Passat (B7) :: 2.5L SEL Automatic - Rapid Upshifting Through Gears Past 30 Mph

Yesterday I had my first test drive of the 2012 2.5L gas Passat SEL automatic. It seemed there was often a little "stumble" as the car accelerated from rest. Is this normal or just an issue with this particular car ?

The only other annoyance I noticed was the rapid up-shifting through the gears past 30 mph. I guess it's set up this way for economy reasons, but acceleration seems to hit a wall when this occurs, then I have to apply more pressure on the go pedal. The salesman was one week on the job and knew far less about the car than I did.

Passat (B5) :: 2005 - Automatic Shift Lock Will Not Disengage

I went to go drive my 05 passat tdi this morning when I stepped on the brake an tried to put into gear, the automatic shift lock does not go off and i could not get it into gear, also the emission, ESP, and ABS light all came on. I called the dealer I bought it from and he gave me a little advice, he told me to pump the break several times and I should be able to get it into gear. It worked but, the ASL light by the shifter didn't go off and when i drove it around the block it felt like it was still not running right. It have high RPMs and little MPH, it was running fine the day before, when I drove it yesterday we were getting alot of rain (3" in 24hr) is this something that could have affected the motor in any way.....

Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Hard Shifting On Automatic Transmission

I've got 95k miles on my 2001.5 and have been noticing that the transmission seems to shift pretty hard. Today it seemed like it was hardest in the 3rd to 2nd downshift. I got it checked out a couple of months ago and the dealer said it was the throttle body (which I haven't cleaned yet).
